I'm thinking ND, WI and (hopefully) Quinnipiac advance. I can't pick the other bracket since I'm too much of a HOMER.

I thought the Gophers looked really flat against CC in the FF. If they can get back to playing "fired up" hockey they should win their bracket.

Thanks Bear

As alwasy should be a great tournament, I expect some upsets but I don't even know if you can call them upsets anymore because everyone brings a quality team. Those Toledo and Manchester regions look tough. Have to laugh at BC getting moved out East with Q, should have been UND there.

Really a wide open tourney right now, maybe Lowell and Notre Dame could be given an edge because they won their conference tournaments but then they get rewards with some WCHA teams in the first round.

oh look, they put UM and UND in the same bracket, who would have thought..

Who is Cansius??? And nice to Mankato make it to the dance!

I'm just happy we got Yale instead of Michigan in Michigan, that would have been interesting. Sioux got more a of a cupcake first round matchup than we did. Yale beat Denver and CC and tied BC, Niagra hasn't even played anyone good.

My thoughts exactly. I looked at Niagras and Yale and I was like [PoorWordUsage] happened there?

Sorry to hi-jack this thread a bit,

Bran32,

I saw your signature, if my memory serves me right that's the year that the Federal Reserve was set up too.

Funny how it's not Federal or has any reserves....

Have you ever read the book "The Creature from Jekyll Island"? just curious.

Gopher yale game 0-0 after the first.

[CaptainMusky]

Deplorable attendance in grand rapids.

[cbrooks]

1-0 Yale 12 minutes left in the 2nd

[Bear55]

almost 5 periods with no goals for the gophers, not feeling good about this one

[Bear55]

rau and schmidt look like they care, not sure about the rest of them

[cbrooks]

2-0 Yale...4:32 left in the 2nd

[Bear55]

not good 2-0 yale

[broodwich]

2-0 Yale after 2. Awful!!! Yale scores first and the gophers just pout! Way to represent the state of hockey. I hope the U cans Lucia. This is not a hockey team it's a collection of pouting draft picks, good luck in the NHL.

[Sifty]

Better get it going her.

Last two minutes they where at least getting some shots off.
